As one of our staple functions, the Monitoring Status provides a straight-forward overview of SBS Online monitoring on the whole and reconciliations yet to be completed. To save users' time it also enables a shortcut to the monthly Budget Monitor and Payroll Reconciliation. To further benefit the user, we have improved the Monitoring Status on the new planner dashboard. Previously, for the colour statuses, we had Blue for when data had been imported into the Payroll Reconciliation or Budget Monitor and Grey for empty. For the redesign, we are introducing an Orange colour status. Orange will be the status all for non-reconciled months up to (and including) the current month, with the remainder of the budget year showing as Grey. Blue will still be the indicator for months where the payroll has been imported, meaning that when planning upcoming tasks, the user will have a clear overview of the months (in Orange) yet to be completed. As before, clicking 'View' under the month symbol provides a shortcut to the complete data for that month.![SBS Online Report View new](https://www.schoolbusinessservices.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/monitoring-status-screenshot-sbsonline.png)
